Overview

This ride follows a series of fun loops and short connector trails. The terrain is sandy chaparral, with curvy singletrack and some fun downhill sections.

Dogs: Leashed

Description

Park along Tamarack Ave when you see the gate and dam down the hill. Enter the preserve by going around the gate, and then head straight down across the dam. Follow the full track for the best continuous loop, but you can shortcut back by eliminating the further loops. The shortest loop would be simply going around the lake only.

Looks like this ride could use some more details. If you know it, add to the description.

It's true! Land managers officially closed the unsanctioned trails between the lake and the high school. You can still park near the HS and take the asphalt/dirt trail up to the dam, where the sanctioned trail is. It's predominantly sand, I rated the trail intermediate, lots of potential for front tire wash out. This has been my favorite trail for the singletrack that's now sadly closed. Sad!

You can also park on the other end of Cannon by Shadow Ridge and follow the bike trails by the creek they are narrow but very scenic and beware of Rattlesnakes a large one crossed my path too close for comfort
